An electrochemical cell based on the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) was designed and used to study the co-extraction of water with hydrated chloride ions from the aqueous to the organic solvent phase. The interfacial potential was controlled by the distribution of a common tetralkylammonium (TAA⁺) ion. Transfer of hydrated chloride ions is accompanied by the transfer of TAA⁺, decreasing its concentration on the aqueous side of the interface. Changes in the TAA⁺ concentration at the interface were monitored by measuring the open circuit potential (OCP). The proposed mechanism of TAACl transport involves a follow-up reaction with the co-extracted water molecules, leading to the formation of clusters of water containing TAACl in the organic phase.

设计了一种基于两种不混溶的电解质溶液（ITIES）之间的界面的电化学电池，并用于研究水与水合氯离子从水相到有机溶剂相的共萃取。界面电位是通过常见的四烷基铵离子（TAA ⁺）的分布来控制的。水合氯离子的转移伴随着TAA ⁺的转移，从而降低了其在界面水侧的浓度。TAA ^+的变化通过测量开路电位（OCP）监控界面上的浓度。提出的TAACl转运机理涉及与共萃取的水分子的后续反应，从而导致有机相中含有TAACl的水团簇的形成。
